Mirada Surf Park - King Tide 11-26-15

Happy Thanksgiving!
Mirada Surf Beach, a quarter mile south of the breakwater at Princeton Harbor.

This stretch of the coast is experiencing accelerated erosion.  This accelerated erosion has multiple causes.  One is the breakwater itself.  The beach is finding a new curve, so it is eroding more quickly south, or down-current, from the breakwater.  But the waves in these photos reach higher than they otherwise would - due to a king tide, and also due to global warming and its resulting sea level rise. This year we also have el Niño which will exacerbate the problem even further, as the West Coast feels its effects of increased storm frequency and intensity.
